Henderson, Ky — The City of Henderson announced that its annual leaf collection program is now underway. The seasonal service, which helps keep neighborhoods tidy and reduces fire hazards, will run through January 15, giving residents ample time to clear their driveways and sidewalks of fallen foliage.
How to Participate
City officials explained that homeowners with loose piles of leaves or who have accumulated more than ten bags should reach out to the Public Works Department. By calling the department, residents can be added to a special collection list, ensuring that a larger volume of leaves is picked up efficiently.
For those with ten bags or fewer, the city’s standard trash pickup will handle the leaf removal. Residents are asked to bag the leaves securely and place them at the curb on their regular trash collection day.
Why the Program Matters
The leaf collection effort is part of Henderson’s broader commitment to maintaining clean, safe public spaces. Removing excess leaf litter helps prevent slips and falls, reduces the risk of mold and pest infestations, and supports the city’s overall sanitation goals.
By offering a dedicated service for larger leaf loads, the city ensures that families with extensive yards or those who have delayed cleanup can still have their property serviced without overburdening the regular trash system.
Contact Information
Residents who need to be added to the special collection list should contact the Public Works Department directly. The city’s website provides the phone number and online form for submitting a request. Officials encourage anyone with questions about the schedule or collection procedures to reach out promptly.
The leaf collection program reflects Henderson’s ongoing effort to provide responsive municipal services that meet the needs of its citizens. As the season progresses, the city will continue to monitor the program’s effectiveness and make adjustments as necessary to ensure a smooth and timely cleanup.
